"You're stuck with me the same way I am with you. So please understand that this is what I've always wanted. A little haven of my own," Mei Xing said.
Lu Aotian looked at her for a long moment, then nodded curtly. "Fine. I'll help you find an apartment. But you have to promise me one thing."
"What's that?" Mei Xing asked, a hint of a smile on her lips.
"You have to promise me you'll stay safe and call me if you notice any changes. Even the slightest change," Lu Aotian said.
Mei Xing's lips stretched into a smile. "I will," she promised.
Lu Aotian leaned down and kissed her lips softly, as if she was leaving for business trip today would take days, and he was saying goodbye.
"Don't bother about the apartment. I'll ask my assistant to get one for you," he said after they pulled apart.
